But can a major party survive an election in which its officehold er*.—who are the sole source of the patronage that is so vital to any political machine—arc reduced to the lowest number in history? That question is now being con sidered privately by Republican leaders—and publicly by principal ly all the country’s publicists and political columnists. Under the American elective system, a party can receive a re spectable popular vote and still be out in the cold when the time comes fo> calling the roll in Congress, state legislatures and municipal councils. That is what happened to Republicans in the debacle of 1936. Governor Landon polled around 37 per cent of the popular vote—yet received only 1 % per cent o 1 the Electoral College vote. Republican candidates thruout the country polled about 17,000,000 votes as against about 27,000,000 for the Democrats—yet they were victorious in only a microscopic proportion of the contests. Best example of this is the House of Representatives. It was univer sally conceded before Nov. 3, that I the Republicans would make gains, irrespective of who won the Pres idency. Democratic spokesmen said hopefully that these gains would not amount to more than 20 I or 30 seats, while Republicans claimed they would gain well over 100 seats. Non-partisan comment 615 Papers to Tell Skelly “News Story” Kanssas City, Nov. 20—Stating that “we have a news story and need newspapers to sell it,” W. T. Atkins, vice-president of Skelly Oil company, announced today that the company is using more than 615 papers in its 1936 fall and winter campaign and The Frontier is listed among them. “Several years ago we introduced tailor-making of our Aromax gaso line," said Mr. Atkins. “We used a large list of newspapers, and our gallotiage increased by leaps and bounds. “We have decided now to take the gasoline buyer into our confid ence. We are going to tell just how and why we tailor-make gasoline to fit the weather. To our refinery gasoline we add,in varyingamounts, a gasoline we make from gas-well gas. We call it ‘virgin’ gasoline. “We tailor this gasoline at 24 points in our marketing territory. No pump is more than overnight away. In this way we can meet quick weather changes with gaso line tailored as a cold wave, or warm spell, breaks. This gives our gasoline fast start and high mile age because the gasoline fits the weather. “This ‘news story’ takes quite a few words to tell, and newspapers naturally were our choice to carry the major brunt of the campaign.” Mr. Atkins expects a large in crease in business this fall and winter. Conditions in most lines are better than for many years, he asserts. Skelly Tailor-Made gasoline is handled in O’Neill and vicinty by The Farmers Union Co-operative Gas, Cream & Produce Co. ators placed Republican gains at 40 to 50 seats. Actual result was startling. In stead of gaining seats, the Repub licans lost 15. Instead of losing seats, the Democrats gained 13. Farmer-labor candidates gained 2. In the Senate, it was mathemat ically impossible for the Republic ans to achieve control, but everyone thought they would have a better showing next congress than last. Result: The GOP lost 6 seats. The Democrats gained 5. The discrep ancy of one is explained, by the re-election of Senator Norris on an Independent ticket. Worst of all, a number of the re maining Republican senators be long to the “Progressive Bloc” which is bitterly opposed to Hoov er, Landon, Hamilton and other leaders. The next Congress, then, will answer the roll as follows: Demo crats in the House, 334; Republic ans, 89; Democrats in the Senate, 75; Republicans, 17. Also vitally important to any party are Governorships—a great deal of the patronage that keeps political machines well oiled and members contented flows from statehouses. Here again the Re publicans made the worst showing' in their long history. There were 33 gubernatorial chairs to be filled —and Democrats won 27 of them. This gives the Democratic party .39 state chief executives. So the party that recei^nl the largest vote ever accorded a losing ticket, got almost nowhere in at taining representation in high of fices. (Complete figures for county and municipal elections are not obtainable, but the Democratic sweep was overwhelming). Lead ers of the party thus say, with some justice, that our elective sys tem is unfair to minorities. On the other hand, Democratic spokesmen say that the Roosevelt victory is important not only because of the majorities attained, hut because it extended to every section of the country and broke down long-es tablished lines of partisan sym pathy. ' ‘ " To get back to the original ques tion, can the Republicans come back ? Their party heads say they will. Among non-partisan com mentators opinion is that the party has a good chance to come back— but that considerable reorganiza tion must take place, a new ag gressive program must he adopted, and new faces must replace some familiar ones in party councils. One leading Republican, Represent ative Fish of New York, has al ready demanded that present party heads resign. What will happen remains to be seen. The hard fact is that no major party ever was at so low' a state as the GOP is at present— the Democrats in their hungriest days always had a large represent ation in congress, governorships, state legislatures, muncipal coun cils, etc. But politics is a surpris ing game—and the unprecedented can always occur. One guess as to what w'ill happen to the two-party system in the next four years is as good as another. Father Coughlin of the Union for Social Justice promised before election that if his candidate, Wil liam Lemke, did not poll 9,000,000 votes, he w'ould go off the air. Father Couglin is now off the air, Mr. Lemke polled only about 500, 000 votes. ’ " u. Never did minor candidates— Prohibitionist, Socialist, Commun ist, etc.—make a worse showing. In post-war history, only third party leader to make a strong showing was Senator La Follette, who polled more than 4,500,000 votes in 1924. METHODIST CHURCH NOTES A. J.

BARNHART’S Here’s One for John Warner Eisert, living south of Opportunity, was over on the Red bird about 12 miles north of his home last week and in Redbird Creek he found a Buffalo head that measured 27*4 inches from tip to tip. The head was under water in the creek and it is not known how many years this relic of the early settler had lain in the creek. It I was almost covered with wrater when found, and the creek is low at the present time making it easily discernable. John O’Sullivan could probably weave quite a tale about this early settler, as he is the best posted man in this section of the state on the early residents of this part of Nebraska. Discharge of Niobrara River During 1936 During the water year 1936, the average discharge of the Niobrara river at the gaging station near Spencer was 1,134 second-feet (cubic feet per second). This was less than of any other of the nine years of record except 1934, when it was 1,094 second-feet. The highest year was 1930 during which the average flow was 1,410 second feet. The highest flow during 1936 was 10,200 second-feet and the lowest, 146 second-feet. The Spencer gaging station is maintained by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the State Bureau of Irrigation, Water Power and Drainage, and the Northern Nebraska Power com pany.
